<description><![CDATA[Does Africa have the potential to feed itself? Yes, and in the near future, says Bingu wa Mutharika, president of Malawi and current interim chair of the African Union.

â€œAfrica is not poor,â€ says Mutharika, who has been Malawiâ€™s president since 2004 and has a degree in economics. The continent, he says, â€œhas decided to shift from Afro-pessimism to Afro-optimism.â€

The president of the southeastern African nation outlines a strategy incorporating subsidies to smallâ€”especially womenâ€”farmers, improvements in irrigation, distribution of sturdy hybrid seeds, building and upgrading of roads, a push toward alternative clean energy sources such as wind and solar, an increased continent-wide investment in communications technology, and the establishment of a strategic partnership comprising nations such as Uganda, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, countries that Mutharika cites as having â€œtrack records of achievement in promoting agriculture and food security.â€
